Yesterday I whined and cried on a couple of threads because I wasn't able to FReep Gore in downtown KC. This morning as I was getting ready to leave for work I heard on the radio he would be at Raytown City Hall in the late morning. Decided to heck with work, grabbed my "Al, you ain't no Harry Truman" sign and off I went. In Raytown I followed a bunch of motorcycle cops. Pulled into a parking lot and a few minutes later the motorcade went by. Was moving pretty fast so I doubt he saw my sign but ...

Moments later, a woman pulled up to the restaurant, left her Blazer running and went inside, leaving her son inside the ...

As TroutStalker mentioned last night Wolverine, Suntzu2000, several lurkers and ourselves were there. Size was constantly changing as people joined us for a while and then drifted away. Handed out letters on how Clinton sold out our country that one of the Freepers brought and small American flags he passed out to our "heroes".Clintons motorcade passed the next block over. We were out of his sight but he knew we were there. From the sound bites I heard on the news, his speech just seemed lackluster, and not exciting at all. Some Vets told us reaction was mixed for his ...

According to Fox 4 News in Kansas City, Slick is scheduled to speak to the VFW convention at 11:00 am Monday morning at Bartle Hall. Let's be there to give him a big Kansas City welcome.The VFW has been down playing the number of phone calls and e-mails protesting Clinton's visit. They're saying the amount of people registering protests is small considering they have 2 million members.
